Does paying with cash mean you’re officially old?

A new poll from Cash App found that 29& of Gen Z’ers believe that using paper money makes you seem “cringe” and “out of touch.”

Gen Z’ers are described as having been born between 1997-2012 and are anywhere from 13-28 years old.

Still, 53% of Gen Z’ers admitted to using cash only as a “last resort,” though carrying cash might be beneficial as 54% of them admitted they are more likely to spend without thinking when they have physical cash on hand, vs. paying with a card.
